Luke names them by where they are from, which is the whole point of the list: Sopater of Berea, Aristarchus and Secundus of Thessalonica, Gaius of Derbe, Timothy, and Tychicus and Trophimus of Asia. This is not an entourage, it is an audit. Paul had spent years raising money from Gentile congregations for the Jerusalem church and had been careful, as he says in 2 Corinthians, that no one should blame him about this generous gift — so each contributing church sent a man to see it delivered. The collection is attested independently in Romans, both Corinthian letters and Galatians, which is rare enough to say out loud. The event carries no place because it is a company assembling across provinces rather than a thing that happened somewhere. What happened next is on Trophimus' page: he was seen with Paul in the city, the crowd assumed the worst, and the last quarter of Acts follows.
To carry the Gentile churches' collection to the poor of Jerusalem, with witnesses from each church that gave.
A company of seven named by city — and, within days of arriving, Paul's arrest.
